Exercise and the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis.

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2010
Exercise is a robust physiological stimulator of the pituitary secretion of growth hormone (GH), and within approximately 15 min after the onset of exercise, plasma GH starts to increase. GH and its primary downstream mediator, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), play a critical role in formation, maintenance, and regeneration of skeletal muscles ...

Regulation of skeletal muscle growth in fish by the growth hormone--insulin-like growth factor system.

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2013
The growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is the key promoter of growth in vertebrates; however, how this system modulates muscle mass in fish is just recently becoming elucidated. In fish, the GH induces muscle growth by modulating the expression of several genes belonging to the myostatin (MSTN), atrophy, GH, and IGF systems as ...

Acromegaly with initial negative oral glucose tolerance test: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2023
Background Acromegaly can be diagnosed by a growth hormone value ≥ 1 µg/L following an oral glucose tolerance test. However, normal growth hormone suppression following oral glucose tolerance test may not exclude acromegaly.
